Processor Sanity Timer Test (#83)
This test is destructive.
This test causes service to be disrupted for about seven seconds on the TN773
and for about one second on the TN786B. During this time, the system does not
respond to any user action.
This test checks to see if the 80286/386 processor watch-dog sanity timer is
functioning correctly. The processor intentionally allows the sanity timer to time
out. If the processor detects itself being reset, the test passes, and the processor
continues to execute normally. If the processor does not detect a reset, the test
has failed. If this test continues to fail, the processor pack should be replaced as
soon as possible. The sanity timer is not critical to system operation, but it is
needed for processor recovery if the processor stops functioning.

FAIL The sanity timer did not time out as expected. The system
continues to function normally. If the processor gets into an
infinite loop, the reset CANNOT be detected, and the system
DOES NOT reboot itself to clear the problem.
1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 5
times.
2. If test continues to fail, the Processor circuit pack should be
replaced as soon as possible. (Note that if you replace the
Processor circuit pack, you need to obtain a new license file.)
PASS The sanity timer went off as expected. The system continues to
function normally. If the processor gets into an infinite loop, the
reset IS detected, and the system reboots itself to clear the
problem.
